- Q. I get a hereby summoned by hit a pedestrian, and the office that filed the complaint wants to talk to me ?
- A: Under no circumstances should you speak to the lawyer for the plaintiff without a lawyer representing you. Any statements or admissions you make to that lawyer will be used in the civil case against you, and if you have inadequate liability coverage but have assets above that coverage, could be used to obtain a judgment against you in excess of your insurance coverage. You may want to retain personal counsel, as the insurance company lawyer only represents you for the amount of coverage you have, and he or she has the interests of the insurance company to protect, in addition to your interests.

- Q. My husband was killed in a car accident deemed his fault. Other driver is suing my insurance company and maybe me
- A: If the car was not owned by you and you did not give your late husband permission to operate the vehicle, I see no basis for liability against you personally for this crash. If you are sued, and the auto liability insurance company does not provide a defense to you, you can retain your own private attorney and have that attorney immediately move to dismiss the case against you. However, you may be sued in a representative capacity on his behalf if you are the executor of your late husband's estate. You still do not bear any personal responsibility for this accident unless you were the owner of the vehicle, and even in that situation, only vicariously responsible for his actions. In the ...
